Cheap Wedding Flower Ideas: Cheap Wedding Flower Arrangements

| August 5, 2009 | 14 Comments

Need a few cheap wedding flower ideas without relying on displays filled with carnations and baby’s breath ?

The right wedding florist adds a touch of floral wonder to your nuptials with  inexpensive floral arrangements. While the wrong arrangements can cast a shadow on a bride’s perfect day.

Here’s how to find a florist that will not only fit your budget but translate your idea from the beginning concept to the final dance in your husbands arms.

Create a floral budget.

Before you hire a wedding florist to create “cheap wedding floral arrangements”, create a budget to include flowers for every member of the wedding party.

Your budget should include the flower girls, groomsmen, bridesmaids and parents of the bride and groom. Bring pictures ripped from the pages of bridal magazines when meeting with your coordinator and florist to discuss bouquets, a wedding arch adorned with flowers, themes and prices.

Search for wedding florists online to find cheap wedding floral arrangements.

Visit the website of your wedding florist before scheduling a meeting. Peruse the wedding gallery to determine the florist’s strengths and weaknesses to determine whether their design aesthetic fits your wedding theme and wedding flower budget.

Ask for referrals.

Been to a glorious wedding where the floral arrangements were to die for? Ask the blushing bride for her florist’s number.

Get references from three brides to ensure that your wedding flowers will arrive to the church and wedding reception on time…and in perfect condition. Check the phone book or ask your wedding planner to recommend a suitable wedding florist.

Request a sample wedding flower presentation.

To prevent buyer’s remorse, ask your wedding florist to create samples of your wedding corsages, bouquets or reception centerpieces. Whether the floral arranger uses fake flowers or silk floral replicas, determining the right color and tone of your wedding flowers must be completed weeks prior to the wedding.

Bring swatches of your bridesmaids’ dresses or the colors of the wedding to match your cheap wedding floral arrangements easily.

A few final cheap wedding flower ideas…

  • Ask to review photos of the wedding florist’s work for other brides and grooms.
  • Book your wedding florist a minimum of 6 to 8 months in advance of your wedding.
  • Ask your florist what floral arrangements will be in season during your wedding, to ensure that the flowers you select are available.
  • Get a wedding florist contract to ensure that all wedding floral requirements are met and exceeded.

While the right flowers can complement your wedding theme beautifully, the wrong choice of  bouquets, boutonnieres and wedding  arrangements can make an unforgettable mark on your special day. Follow these flower power tips to find cheap wedding flower ideas to reduce the cost of your expensive nuptials.
